Waco, Government Tyranny, and Accountability
http://radicalacademy.com/yonanessay1.htm

A few people have gone as far as to assert that federal agents were "directly" responsible for the bombing. However, to date, there is not much evidence to support that theory. Yet, the scenario that one or more federal agents intentionally allowed the sting operation to go bad is a possibility that should not be arbitrarily dismissed. Much remains to be learned about the bombing. The motive of federal agents for suppressing facts regarding multiple explosive devices remains to be explained. The motive of federal agents for suppressing evidence regarding additional accomplices and a Middle Eastern connection to the bombing remains to be explained. The motive for the ATF in evacuating only their own office and then lying about the reason for the absence of employees on the day of the bombing remains to be explained. If we assert that federal agents are not capable of a heinous crime such as allowing the bombing of innocent civilians, then we have learned nothing from Ruby Ridge or Waco. Curiously, we find some of the same AFT and FBI supervisors from the Waco case also involved in the Murrah Building bombing case.

History provides us examples of governments permitting its enemies to succeed in carrying out some plan of attack. The "victim" government then exploits the situation to justify or gain support for a furthering of its own agenda. This strategy is known as "controlled opposition." This scenario is not beyond the realm of possibility in the Murrah Building bombing, and we do not know what new facts will emerge.

Whatever the case may be, we must make sound judgments based on the available evidence.

Concluding Remarks

If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin. Samuel Adams

Many more situations could be presented that illustrate a pattern of government tyranny, cover-up, and lack of accountability. I have briefly discussed only a few, well-known cases. We are a tolerant society, too tolerant. We are tolerating an increasingly illegal and illegitimate federal government, which operates outside its constitutional limits and authority.

The media also plays a culpable part in the Waco case by its unquestioning acceptance of false and misleading federal reports on Waco. The media also failed in its reporting of just what kind of community were the Branch Davidians. To provide a reliable analysis of the Branch Davidians requires understanding their particular, personal interpretation of the Bible. Most journalists, however, lack sufficient understanding of the Bible for this task. It's also worth noting that we saw little concern by the major media for the women and children that met a fiery death.

So long as the public relies solely on popular media sources for its information, it will remain ill informed about the activities of government. There is nothing new here. During the Revolutionary period in America, patriots could not rely on the press for information. Instead, American patriots set up their own Committees of Correspondence for reliable news and information.

The American colonists did not tolerate tyranny and oppression. St. Thomas Aquinas did not think tyranny should be tolerated, either. The position of Aquinas is that if the king becomes a tyrant, the people should devise a clever plan to depose him. Aquinas also says that the overthrow of a tyrannical government "is not strictly sedition, unless perhaps, when accompanied by such disorder that the community suffers greater harm than from the tyrannical government."

Protecting the common good requires that citizens hold the government accountable for its actions. There is little possibility of this happening as long as the full truth about Waco and other government atrocities remain concealed from the public. And federal investigations have at times served only to further the cover-up, protect the guilty, and mislead the people.

April 19th, 1993 Parkland Hospital has filed suit against the FBI. The FBI had contacted Parkland that fateful morning to determine how much space was available for burn victims (this is confirmed on the sworn affidavit in the suit). Parkland, in an effort to collect for the services rendered, filed the action for payment of the $350,000 outstanding on the bill.
